Akon’s zodiac sign and chart, in brief
Akon was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on 16 April 1973, a Monday. The Sun was in Aries, so Aries is their zodiac sign, with the Moon in Libra. Akon turns 53 in 2026. StarMap has not verified a birth time yet, so the chart is cast for midday on that date and has no houses.
Of the nine planets whose sign does not depend on the birth time, six are in air signs and three in fire; none is in earth or water. By modality the count is five cardinal, two fixed and two mutable. Three planets stand together in Libra: Moon, Uranus and Pluto. The tightest aspect is Sun conjunction Venus, about 1.8° from exact at midday. Aspects to the Moon are not counted, because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto were retrograde. Over the course of the day the Moon went from waxing gibbous to full.
StarMap's dataset holds 28 other people born on 16 April, among them Selena, Margrethe II and Peter Ustinov.

Akon’s Sun, Moon and rising sign
Sun sign
Aries
about 26° Aries at midday
An Aries Sun starts things. For Akon that points to energy that is direct and impatient with delay, and to feeling most like themselves when there is something to go first at. The work of this placement is finishing what the spark began.
Moon sign
Libra
in this sign all day; the degree depends on the birth time
A Libra Moon feels through relationship. Harmony nearby tends to settle Akon, and conflict, even other people's, can unsettle them. What restores this Moon is beauty, fairness, and one person who truly listens.
Rising sign
The rising sign changes about every two hours, so it cannot be known without a birth time. The table below shows which sign was rising over St. Louis, Missouri, at each hour of the day.
Akon’s rising sign, by birth time
StarMap has not verified a birth time for Akon yet. It shows a birth time only when Astro-Databank rates it AA, A or B on the Rodden scale (AA from a birth certificate or record, A from the person, someone close to them or a news report, B from a biography). Until then, this is the rising sign for every possible time of birth on 16 April 1973, computed for St. Louis, Missouri.

Akon’s planets, sign by sign
Each planet by sign: what the placement is traditionally taken to mean, not a claim about Akon’s private life.
With the Sun in Aries, Akon's sense of purpose tends to come alive when there is a clear start line. They probably feel most like themselves pushing into something new, though that energy can burn hot and fade before the finish. The typical pattern is a project launched with excitement, then handed off once the routine sets in.
A Libra Moon needs harmony in the immediate surroundings to feel settled day to day, and a tense conversation nearby can throw off Akon's whole afternoon. Comfort comes from pleasant company and pleasant spaces. The habit to watch is smoothing things over before they have worked out what they want.
Mercury in Pisces or Aries
Pisces until about 15:15, then Aries
mind and voice
Born before about 15:15: Mercury in Pisces
Mercury in Pisces thinks in images and impressions more than straight lines, and Akon is likely to communicate through metaphor, tone and instinct rather than clean argument. Explaining a conclusion they nonetheless feel certain about can be the struggle. It is the kind of mind that knows something is off before it can say why.
Born after about 15:15: Mercury in Aries
Mercury in Aries suggests that Akon thinks in quick, decisive strokes and says what they mean without much preamble. Sometimes the words arrive before the thought is fully formed, which can come across sharper than intended. It is a mind that finishes other people's sentences and prefers a fast decision to a long meeting.
Venus in Aries loves with immediacy and pursues what it wants without much hesitation, and it values a partner who can keep up. For Akon that suggests an interest that can fade once the chase is over. The pattern is to fall fast and to need a relationship to keep feeling like a choice, not a routine.
Mars in Aquarius acts on principle, and its anger surfaces most over unfairness or hypocrisy rather than personal slights. Akon can detach from a conflict so thoroughly that the other person feels shut out. The issue tends to get argued with heat while the relationship itself is treated with strange calm.
Jupiter in Aquarius
9° Aquarius 11' at midday
growth and excess
Jupiter in Aquarius grows through community, ideas and causes bigger than one life. Akon may put so much trust in a theory or a group that its practical flaws are overlooked. Optimism about the future can make them a natural organiser of other people's efforts.
Saturn in Gemini builds discipline around clear expression, and it often begins with doubt about whether an idea is good enough to say out loud. For Akon that would mean overpreparing before speaking or writing anything. Once the self-consciousness eases, the result can be someone unusually precise and credible with words.
Uranus in Libra
20° Libra 47' at midday ℞
freedom, generational
Akon holds Uranus in Libra in common with many people born in the same stretch of years. Together that generation reshapes ideas of partnership, fairness and how relationships are arranged. Its personal side is a readiness to question traditional roles more openly than earlier generations felt able to.
Neptune in Sagittarius
7° Sagittarius 03' at midday ℞
imagination, generational
Neptune in Sagittarius is the dream of a generation: grand systems of belief and utopian journeys. What belongs to Akon in it may be a hopeful conviction that the right philosophy will resolve a practical problem.
Pluto in Libra
2° Libra 26' at midday ℞
power, generational
Pluto in Libra is the signature of the generation Akon belongs to, because Pluto moves so slowly. That generation transforms ideas of partnership, fairness and what people owe one another. Personally it can be an intense need for relationships to be fundamentally fair.
Aspects in Akon’s chart
How the planets stand to each other, tightest first. Without a birth time the orbs are those at midday, and aspects to the Moon are left out because the Moon moves about thirteen degrees in a day.
Sun conjunction Venus
about 1.8° at midday
Who Akon is and what they love are likely to be closely bound, so their identity has relationships and beauty at its centre rather than at its edge. People with the Sun conjunct Venus tend to give affection openly, and their sense of self can rise and fall a little with how appreciated they feel.
Jupiter sextile Neptune
about 2.1° at midday
Inspired ideas are within Akon's reach without any loss of footing, since possibility and imagination are gently linked by this sextile. The optimism is soft and workable, useful for keeping a project hopeful without letting it drift far from what is real.
Mars trine Saturn
about 2.2° at midday
Staying power on long, difficult goals is what Mars trine Saturn offers, with drive and discipline reinforcing each other. Akon is likely to get more done, more consistently, than the visible effort would suggest, which is a quiet advantage over time.
Mercury opposition Pluto
about 2.6° at midday
With Mercury opposite Pluto, other people's attempts to control the story can collide with Akon's own conclusions and turn a disagreement into a deeper power struggle. Staying with the argument itself, rather than the fight for control, resolves more.
Saturn trine Uranus
about 3.8° at midday
This trine lets Akon build lasting structures that still leave room for change, because discipline and independence are allies here. Consistency and originality coexist with ease, and neither of them has to be given up to make room for the other.
Mars conjunction Jupiter
about 5.6° at midday
Mars conjunct Jupiter lends Akon's drive a bold confidence, and they tend to act on a big goal before doubt has a chance to catch up. Momentum is the gift here; pacing is the skill, so that the energy lasts beyond the first burst of enthusiasm.
The rest, listed without a reading. Those between Uranus, Neptune and Pluto hold for years at a time, so everyone born while one holds shares it.

How this page is made
Planet positions are computed with the astronomy-engine ephemeris and checked against Swiss Ephemeris. Birth dates and places come from Wikidata; birth times, where StarMap has one, come from Astro-Databank and are shown with their Rodden rating. The readings describe what a placement is traditionally taken to mean. They are written by StarMap for reflection and entertainment, not as statements about the person’s private life. New to charts?
